Echo Trip Fly Rod

The Echo Trip Series is a purpose-driven rod made for explorers and backcountry anglers. With an 8-piece design, the Trip rod is easy to carry, travels seamlessly, and works well as a travel rod. Tim Rajeff has included improved ferrule technology and a lightweight blank design to minimize rod weight. The 8-piece Trip is lighter than it looks and perfect for the traveling angler.

Blank

Slim Profile Graphite Design - The blank of the Echo Trip Series has an 8-piece rod design and sports a crisp medium-fast action and moderate power levels. Echo uses modern resin systems to create a rod blank that is lightweight and durable. Improved ferrule technology and design make this 8-piece fly rod feel like a 4-piece rod on the water. Tim Rajeff also included a powerful butt section for long distance casting and fish-fighting capabilities.

 

Guides

Low Friction Ceramic Stripping Guides - The Echo Trip is equipped with corrosion-resistant ceramic stripping guides that hold up to weather and wear. These guides are low friction to help fly line shoot effortlessly through the rod.

Stainless Snake Guides - The snake guides on the Echo Trip are lightweight and practical. Snake guides are low profile and minimalist to decrease overall rod weight without sacrificing functionality.

 

Reel Seat

Black Anodized Aluminum w/Uplocking Component - The reel seat on the Echo Trip has a black anodized aluminum insert with an uplocking component to anchor reels in place. The smaller rod models have a reversed half-wells grip and the larger 8wt model has a full wells grip with a fighting butt.

 

Rod Tube

Fabric-Covered Rod Case - The Echo Trip comes in a black fabric-covered rod tube with an Echo insignia and the rod model printed on the side for easy identification. Fabric-covered rod tubes protect rods during time off the water and are a solid mid-priced alternative to an aluminum rod tube. The Trip travels well in this short tube.
